Functional Description

A T B (P)
Proportional directional control valves Model 4 WRA B 6 and 4 WRAE B 6 are direct operated spool valves. They control the direction and quantity of ow to an actuator, for smooth acceleration to a desired velocity. The valve is normally operated by integrated electronics or a suitable amplier. The 4 WRA B can be operated as a switching valve if proportional control is not required. These valves consist of a housing, control spool, springs, and proportional solenoids. Solenoid current increases the magnetic force to push the armature and spool against an opposing spring. The spool position is proportional to this force balance. Large spool notches meter uid in and out of the actuator (P to B, A to T). Flow rate is based upon the notch size, spool position and pressure drop across the resulting throttle. Maximum ow is restricted by the power limit of the valve. Covered manual overrides (N9) are standard to simplify troubleshooting. A recessed pin push is used to move the spool. Coils can be replaced by removing a hand tightened ring. A molded central (D) box is available to mate with integral solenoid pins for uncomplicated installation and servicing. Electrical connections can be compression terminals in the box with 1/2" NPT conduit connections (DA). A 5-pin connector is available (DK25) to mate with molded cables per ANSI B93.55 M. Cable is not included. The DK25 is used for single solenoid valves (EA, WA use pins 2, 3, 4) and two solenoid valves. Individual connectors (Z45) are also available when a (D) box is not requested. Integrated electronics requires a 6-pin connector (DK26). Mating plug/cable is not included. A shielded cable is recommended. Supply voltage must be 21V to 35V (G24) for integrated electronics. The 4 WRA E B 6 must be coded /G24, although it has a 12 volt coil.

Note 1) The MDSD1 or MDSD will operate the 4 WRA B../G12 with 14 to 28 vdc from the power supply. The MDSD can be used with 10 to 14 vdc power, but valve performance may be affected. At higher temperatures, increased solenoid resistance may reduce the available ow. An amplier is not required when using the 4 WRA B../G12 as a non-proportional (switching) valve at 12 vdc 10%. Note 2) The MDSD is not preferred for the 4 WRA B../G24, since this would require 27 to 28 vdc from the power supply. At 24 vdc and maximum coil temperature, the MDSD would only provide about 85% of full ow. An amplier is not required when using the 4 WRA B../G24 as a non-proportional (switching) valve at 24 vdc 10%. Note 3) The 4 WRAE B (integrated electronics) will have the ../G24 designation indicating supply voltage for the amplier. The solenoid coil will have 12 volt specications.
